July Mosaic

This month I'll tell stories by request. Want to know the story behind one (or more) of these photos? Identify the photo by row or column and position and then be sure to subscribe to the comments so you can see my reply. We'll be traveling today, so I'll get back to you later tonight.

Almost every month, inquiring minds want to know: How do I make my mosaics?

First, I take thirty or more (and sometimes less) pictures every month.Next, I make a set on Flickr. (This month's set is here, and there are a couple of bonus photos from last night at the Birdseye Diner that didn't fit in the mosaic.)Then, I go to Big Huge Labs and use their Mosaic Maker with the link to my Flickr photoset.Finally, I download, save, insert, comment, and publish!

I love the images of the hatching of the butterflies. How exciting! Thanks for the cat and squirrel photo and matching poem you sent for the poetry swap. I love how you framed it so I can put it up in my classroom. There I need to be reminded to dream.
